1 " Politics is not evil; politics is the human race’s most magnificent achievement. "
― Robert A. Heinlein , Podkayne of Mars
2 " Think about it. Politics is just a name for the way we get things done ... without fighting. We dicker and compromise and everybody thinks he has received a raw deal, but somehow after a tedious amount of talk we come up with some jury-rigged way to do it without getting anybody's head bashed in. That's politics. The only other way to settle a dispute is by bashing a few heads in ... and that is what happens when one or both sides is no longer willing to dicker. That's why I say politics is good even when it is badbecause the only alternative is force-and somebody gets hurt. -- Senator Tom Fries "
